Question 3 • DAEP-English 7 A(20 Day Term)

Select the version of the revised sentence that is punctuated correctly.

Answer
A
At the fountain I wished for happiness.
B
At the fountain, I wished for happiness.
C
At the fountain; I wished for happiness.
D
At the fountain, I wished, for happiness.

Explanation

“At the fountain” is an introductory phrase that comes before the main clause, “I wished for happiness.” A comma separates the introductory phrase from the main clause, so “At the fountain, I wished for happiness” is correctly punctuated. A leaves out the comma, while C and D use punctuation incorrectly.
